General Manager of the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, Anthony Xavier says the venue is approximately 95 per cent ready. The venue will host the first two One-Day International matches between hosts West Indies and Pakistan on Sunday and Tuesday.

Sport Minister Dr Frank Anthony revealed on Wednesday that the Guyana National Stadium is available and equipped to host the West Indies versus Pakistan Test match, which is tentatively scheduled for June this year.

The ICC/CWC Local Organising Committee (LOC) and the Police Traffic Department are to meet Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) in the vicinity of the stadium to hammer out the permit programme which would give access to vehicles moving in and out of nearby communities.

President of the club, Devin Munroe told Stabroek Sport in an interview on Wednesday that the club is using whatever “little” resources are available to develop the venue while the Local Organising Committee (LOC) is to come forward with assistance.
